Chess was fine but it wasn't balanced!
Enter Chess 2: The Sequel, released in 2014 by Dave Sirlin, of Sirlin Games. That's right, the mastermind who rebalanced Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (2008). This qualifies him to make the sequel Chess 2: The Sequel because chess is a fighting game.
Shut up, listen, shut up. I know what you want. You want CHESS. Well, close your eyes, imagine chess. What did you imagine? Was it this?!
I love this kind of metapost because Xess' entire shtick is literally being "to Chess what Street Fighter 2 is to Street Fighter".
It is an extremely fun little multiplayer game where you play chess with characters that each have their own different rules and pieces with special properties, giving each set it's own identity.
I really recommend everybody to play that stuff, great game to waste some time and to relearn Chess (but also to unlearn it, if you know what I mean).
